Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. As we know that

Cash conversion cycle is

= Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding

= 45 days + 25 days - 30 days

= 40 days

b. Now if the payment of supplier changed from 30 days to 50 days which is

Cash conversion cycle is

= Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding - days payable outstanding

= 45 days + 25 days - 50 days

= 20 days

c. Now the reduction in working capital is

= Difference in days × production × material cost per order

= 20 days × 2,000 × $50

= $2,000,000

We simply applied the above formulas

Kelly Enterprises' stock currently sells for $35.25 per share. The dividend is projected to increase at a constant rate of 4.75%
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The answer is option e. $44.46

Explanation:

The stock's  expected price after 5 years can be expressed as;

FV=CV(1+RRR)^n

where;

FV=future value of stock/expected price after 5 years

CV=current price of stock

DGR=dividend growth rate

n=number of years

In our case;

FV=unknown

CV=$35.25 per share

DGW=4.75%=4.75/100=0.0475

n=5 years

replacing;

FV=35.25(1+0.0475)^5

FV=35.25(1.0475)^5

FV=44.46

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The statement that says that in the context of project management, a task duration is always the same as the amount of work (effort) it takes to finish the task is false because the effort is the time a person needs to finish a task while the duration is the period of time that a person has to finish it. For example, an employee has a task that takes forty hours of work to finish it but he has a month to do it. In this case, the effort is forty hours but the task duration is one month.

If price increases by 12 percent and quantity demanded decreases by 10 percent, demand is _________
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Demand is Inelastic

Jack : Substitution Effect dominates

Becky : Buy fewer hiking boots

Explanation:

Elasticity of Demand is responsive change in demand due to change in price. Demand is : Elastic - When proportionate change (% change) in demand > proportionate (% change) in price and Inelastic - When proportionate change  (% change) in demand < proportionate change (% change) in price .

So, If price rise by 12% & demand decreases by 10% , Demand is Inelastic.

a. Substitution Effect is consumer's shift from dearer to cheaper goods & so,  rise in demand of falling prices good , fall in demand of rising prices good . Jake buying lesser T shirts (relatively expensive) when price of Donuts fall (relatively cheaper) means Substitution Effect dominates for him.

b. Income Effect is price - demand inverse relationship, by change in real purchasing power due to price change. Price rise reduces real purchasing power, decreases demand & price fall increases real purchasing power, increases demand. Becky's paint brush price rise reduces her real purchasing power & she consumes less of both paintbrushes & hiking boots.
